    "content": "touched by the good work of the NG-CDF. Without the NG-CDF, many classrooms would not have been established. Without the NG-CDF, many emergencies would not have been tackled in my constituency. Without the NG-CDF, many children would not have completed their education. Therefore, noting the importance the NG-CDF, we must maintain and cherish it. We must establish it and continue to ensure that it has given that longevity of comfort and establishment for the community. It is also important to note that the NG-CDF should be utilised in a way that is fair to all. I come from a constituency that is 22,000 square kilometres. That is almost the size of Rwanda. I come from the second-largest constituency in the country. There are constituencies that are about 4,000 or 3,000 square kilometres. That is almost five or six times some constituencies. It is unfair in terms of distribution. The NG-CDF has been established quite well, and for a purpose, but the issue of fairness in the distribution of resources has not been forthcoming. It has not been considered quite well. That is one of the things that we want to urge the Committee to be mindful of; constituencies like Wajir South are quite large. One thing that we need to understand is that the NG-CDF has not only been supporting the education sector, but also other sectors. When it comes to drought-related emergencies that we always face in my constituency, we use the NG-CDF emergency fund to mitigate the situation. We also support the security sector, which is a very vital organ in our country, to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of our society is safeguarded. The NG-CDF has also touched our hearts and minds."
